NASA has been having a problem about a falling satellite. The satellite was launched in 1991. It operated for 14 years a bit longer than expected. NASA engineers and astronauts were suppose to go on a mission to retrieve the satellite. They had to end their mission because the shuttle was having problems. After Columbia blew up, they were trying to get more ideas to get it back to earth safely. Finally the satellite fell on Friday September 23rd between 11:23pm - 1:09am It feel on the pacific side of the coast . UARS is a upper atmosphere research satellite. NASA is a National Aeronautics Space Administration. In 2003 the space shuttle blew up in Columbia. Columbia was suppose to be one of the ships to retrieve the satellite.
I thought its interesting how there was a falling satellite coming to earth I wouldn't want to be a engineer or a astronaut because it seems like a lot of work and consecration and I wouldn't want to be in earth for 14 years thats a long time. Its scary how the satellite fell down to earth and I don't remember hearing about that on the news.
